Her brother, Quantum is at Kitty Kingdom and will be available for rehoming once he as been healed of his trauma and becomes the lovely confident boy he should be. Kitty Kingdom are full up just now with cats from 2 weeks to 12 years old.

If you want a receipt put that in the payee reference along with your name so the payment can be receipted. You will then need to phone or text Karen and she will arrange for that to be sent to you. A big thank you to all cat and animal people, we rock :) We also care about those who can't speak for themselves.

Glasses

Ian from Rangiora

Wouldn't believe it but first day of lockdown and my 1 year old has just bent my wife's prescription glasses. Would usually go to spec savers and they would fix them with their gear. Any ideas??

We’re now at Alert Level 4. Stay home. Save lives.

Dear concerned citizen,

Dear concerned citizen,

We must now all stay home. Because that’s how we’ll stop the virus.

Level 4 measures will likely be in place for a number of weeks.

Don’t worry. During that time you will still be able to access all the essentials you need, including medicine, food, and other home supplies.

ALL THE TIME, NO EXCEPTIONS
It’s incredibly important that we all follow the Level 4 plan, all the time. No exceptions. Because doing so will save lives.

A CHALLENGE FOR EVERYONE
We realise these are big changes. But these are challenging times.
If we don't all stay home, the whole country will need Level 4 restrictions for longer.

SUPPORT OUR EMERGENCY SERVICE PEOPLE
We owe it to the essential services. Our nurses, doctors and everyone else on the frontline. They’re working tirelessly to save lives. We should all do everything in our power to help them do this.
Thank you to each and every person, for doing their bit.

While you’re staying at home:

STAY CONNECTED
• Don’t let physical distance stop you staying connected. Keep in touch with people using video calls, phone calls, chat and texting.
• If you know people who are living alone, vulnerable, or separated from their loved ones, regularly check-in with them.

STAY WELL
• Continue to practice good hygiene – wash your hands with soap. Then dry.
• Cough or sneeze into your elbow.
• Regularly clean surfaces in your home with disinfectant.
• Keep up regular physical exercise, and get some fresh air when possible. It’s good so long as this is solitary, or only with those you live with.

REACH OUT
If you need advice, support or help, try reaching out to friends, family, whānau or workmates.

WE'RE UPDATING INFORMATION CONSTANTLY
For all the latest advice, including answers to your health and financial questions, go to Covid19.govt.nz.

And remember: what you do now, will help protect all of us.
